Chapter 193
(The Loud House.)
The sun shines onto the peaceful morning, well not really a peaceful morning. The sound of the kitchen clattering can be heard from the tree house tower.
This makes Patriot and Valkyrie curious, so Patriot goes to investigate, but first he had to return the tablet he and Valkyrie used. Since they still refused to leave the tower, they were given a tablet from Leni which would lead to a live stream of the whole performance by Luna and her band from Bangers n' Mosh.
The eagle sees the open window of Lori and Leni's room, so he flies in and places the tablet onto the night stand of Leni, he spots the two girls leave the room to see what the heck is going on, so he follows them out of the room.
He sees Lincoln and Luna comes out of their shared room, so he lands onto the boys shoulders. Which makes Lincoln smile. "Hey bud, you curious about the noise?"
Patriot nods. "Same here, come on let's go and see what's going on."
"This better be good. I was in the middle of my beauty sleep!" said Lola.
"I was having such a wonderful dream about Vampires of Melancholia, but it got ruined by this noise" said Lucy.
"Let's see what all of this is about" said Lori.
They all head to the dining room, they see some food has been left out ready for them.
"What the? Did dad make breakfast early?" asked Lucy.
"And literally on a Sunday?" asked Lori.
"I guess it's a Sunday to be early for this one! Hahahahaha! Get it?" said Luan. They all groan in response.
"Well, at least we got ourselves some food. So let's dig in!" said Lynn Jr.
Lincoln then stops her. "Not until we figure out what the heck is going on. Now come on guys, to the kitchen!"
They all follow Lincoln and they are confused to see their dad going back and forth checking all of the ingredients in the kitchen and making some food, but this didn't look like any normal breakfast food.
"Alright, all I have to do now is make the batter and it will be good to go, then I have to make the sauce and some seasoning" said Lynn Sr as he goes through all that he can think of.
Then he notices his kids. "Hey kids, breakfast is ready for ya. Dig in!" he then goes back to his cooking.
"Thanks pops" said Lynn. Lynn is about to head back to the dining room, but she's stopped by Lincoln.
"Dad, what the heck is going on?" asked Lana.
"Yeah, why are you making us early breakfast and making more food?" asked Leni.
"It's literally not even a school day dad" replied Lori.
"And you're lucky Lily has the noise-b-gone ear buds" said Lisa.
Lynn Sr stops for a while. "Oh, sorry about that kids. It's just that today is a very special day for us, well for Luna that is." He then goes back to cooking.
They all figured out what he meant. "Of course, Mick Swagger is coming here" said Lana.
"Pop star, you don't have to do this" said Luna.
"I have to, this is your idol and a big time British celebrity! And I wanna make sure that he's comfortable here!" said Lynn Sr.
"What? Are you gonna put on your British hat and make the living room all British looking?" asked Lola.
"That's exactly what I'm gonna do afterwards" replied Lynn Sr. They all remained silent from that.
"And he's lost it" replied Lisa.
"Same old dad and his love for all things British" said Lori.
Luna goes to her dad. "Pops, you don't have to make everything British, he doesn't mind how things look. He knows that the home where this person is from is how their personality is, and have you noticed I barely do anything Brit like?"
"I have noticed that. But how come you barely do the good old English accent like your old man?" asked Lynn sr. "I thought you liked British stuff."
"I do pop star. It's just, if I keep doing it then it would annoy some actual British people, plus I have to be honest … You're British is kinda, stale" said Luna. They all gasp.
Lynn Sr is shocked. "W-What?"
"Father, she is right. What you learned when you spent only One Semester in London wasn't enough, you do not understand the true old English words that match to Englishman today. Also, Mick Swagger doesn't speak much into his native countries language. I have noticed he at times speaks normal English" replied Lisa.
"See dad, so please do not act all London all over the dude. It could get real awkward real fast" replied Luna.
"Like when you acted all British to Hugh" said Lincoln. "And started singing some weird song about British food."
He looks to all of his kids. "Am I really that weird when I do British stuff?"
They all were nervous, but they all nodded in agreement.
"To be literally honest, sometimes when my friends are here and you start talking British, they record everything. I manage to reason with them not to post it" said Lori.
"Also, Tabby once asked me and Jordan why you act like that. She finds it somewhat insulting, she's fine when Luna does it and Chunk is just born a Brit" said Lincoln.
"It may have worked with mom back then, but this ain't the 90's daddy" said Lola.
Lynn Sr sighs. "Huh, I guess I never thought of that. Okay kids, I'll tone it down with the British stuff. But I will be cooking some food inspired from the good old country!" said Lynn Sr.
"That's okay pop star. Cooking is your dream and what you love to do" said Luna.
"And now that that's done. Breakfast?" asked Lynn Jr.
Lincoln chuckles. "Alright guys, breakfast." They all head to the dining room and they leave their dad to cook in peace.
(Later.)
Lynn Sr places down a lot of the food he made onto the dining room table and he told Rita about the honest words Luna and the others told him. She was greatful that they were honest to him, and she was also relieved that he wasn't going to redecorate the house into something more British styled. That would be a lot of work, way more work than Christmas.
Lincoln and Luna come down from the stairs all dressed and ready. The others also follow suite.
"Okay, so we all don't have any plans, which means we can all be here for the big planning talk between Luna, her band and Mick Swagger" said Lincoln. He then turns to all of his sisters. "Are you guys sure you al don't have any plans for today?"
"I am putting hold on all of my inventions and lectures until this is over" said Lisa.
"No pageant practice for today Lincoln, but I will start more practice next week" said Lola.
"I'm not going dumpster diving today, or scavenging through the trash" said Lana.
"Sigh, The young Morticians club doesn't have any big plans for today. Except for tomorrow though" replied Lucy.
"All my team friends are hanging out with their dates. So glad I'm not part of that one" said Lynn Jr.
"No birthday gigs today, otherwise I'd be on a Sunday trip down comedy lane! Hahahaha! Get it?" said Luan.
"Mrs. Carmichael is busy having some mother and son bonding time, so no work at Reiningers today for me. Fiona and Miguel and the rest of my friends have their own plans for today" replied Leni.
"Bobby texted me earlier saying that he'll be busy in the Mercado all day. I'm sure I can handle a whole day without texting him" replied Lori. She has Lily in her arms babbling.
"Looks like we all got nothing else to do, now all we have to do now is wait for my band and the rest of our pals" replied Luna.
"Cool" said Lincoln. Then they hear the doorbell ring. Lincoln answers it and sees it was Jordan, Sam, Simon, Stella, Tabby, Sully, Mazzy and Chunk. And for some reason Jordan's parents and dog Ajax are there.
"Hey there handsome" Jordan kisses Lincoln. "And a hey to you as well beautiful" replied Lincoln.
He then looks to the others. "Hey guys, glad you all made it." But then he notices someone wasn't there. "Tabby, where the heck is Liam?"
"Farm boy said he was busy with some pests on the farm, but he's okay if it was just me coming here" replied Tabby.
Rick and Jesse have no clue as to why they were called to this, but they're hoping to get answers too. Jordan let's Ajax run off and play with the Loud pets.
They all head into the house and they spot the British style food on the dining room table.
"Well I'll be, now that's what I call a buffet fit for the queen" said Chunk.
Lola looks at this. "No, not really."
"So, your dad going all out on the whole British thing again?" asked Sam.
"Not all Sammy, we told him to tone it down a notch" replied Luna.
"Good, because the one thing we don't want is Mick Swagger thinking he's being mocked" replied Sully.
"So, when's the big hot shot coming here?" asked Stella.
They then hear a car engine and they spot a limo outside. The doors open and they see some body guards come out and they open the door and Mick Swagger comes out.
"This is it guys! He's here!" said Luna.
Lynn Sr comes out of his room. "He is?!" He then heads into the dining room to get ready to serve food.
"You should be this fast when you're going to the parent teacher conference" said Rita.
Patriot flies onto the shoulder of Jordan. "And here he comes."
They hear a knock on the door, Luna answers it and there he is. Her idol Mick Swagger. "Good morning to you Luna, I believe you know why I'm here."
"Yeah, so let's get this talk over with, not to rush though. Just kinda stoked" replied Luna. She didn't seem all giddy as a fan girl.
The Rockstar enters the house. "No worries" He then smells the air. "And is that Shepherd's pie I smell?"
"It is Mr. Swagger sir, I made tons of food for you" replied Lynn Sr.
"Well, this sure looks like a meal fit for the queen" replied Mick Swagger.
Lola is confused by this. "Why did he say that? It apparently doesn't."
Mick looks to Chunk. "And you must be Luna's roadie?"
"That I am Mick Swagger" replied Chunk. The two of them then start talking in a mixed word conversation in English, Lynn Sr realized his kids were right. He spent one semester in London and didn't learn all the words to the English language.
"I literally have no clue what their even saying right now" said Lori.
"Just something only a true blooded English dude could understand" said Sam.
"And I thought Lisa talking all nerd was hard to understand" said Lynn Jr.
Lisa scoffs. "Excuse me, I do not sound like that."
"Sure you don't" replied Lola sarcastically.
Jordan looks to Tabby. "You understand them?"
"Sure do, sort of. I don't know much about the language yet" replied Tabby.
They all take their seats onto the living room. Mick Swagger takes the soft chair, Luna and her band sit on the couch with Lincoln and Jordan next to them.
The others take the other chair and some seats Rita and Lynn Sr placed around.
"So, you changed your mind about going on tour with me?" asked Mick Swagger.
"It all sounds pretty rad Mick. I mean, I really do wanna go on tour and sing in front of a large crowd and fulfill my crazy Rock n' Roll dream, something I dreamed of since I went to my first concert which you were in. But there are some complications to that dude" replied Luna.
They all looked to Luna confused. "And what might that be luv?" asked Mick Swagger, he takes a bite from the pie.
"Well, first off I'm just sixteen, and I know some rock stars can start off from that kinda age and it seem pretty legal too, just as long as they got some adult supervision. But I still got school to deal with and next school year I'm advancing in high school" said Luna.
"And that's where I have the answer for you Luna. Summer Vacation is when I start me tour and it could be a good deal for you" replied Mick Swagger.
"Now that's what I call a Smashin' idea!" said Chunk.
"My mind is blown right now" said Tabby.
"Dude, do it!" said Sully.
"You can have a Summer Vacation road trip tour!" said Mazzy.
"This is a one shot thing Lunes" said Sam.
"I agree with them sis" said Lincoln.
"Same here" replied Jordan.
The other family members agree as well. They wanna see her happy and fulfill this dream of hers.
Luna was happy they supported her in this. But then she shakes her mind off of it and looks to her idol.
"Mick Swagger, I'll do it" replied Luna. They all cheer. "But!" they all stop. "I do have some conditions to go through, conditions that we both have to agree on."
They all stop cheering and sit back down. "Alright then, and what might they be?" asked Mick Swagger.
"First off, I can't do these songs unless my band is with me. We're a package deal and I am loyal to them, to Sully, Mazzy and to my best lady in the world Sam Sharp" replied Luna.
Sam blushes and kisses Luna on the cheek. Sully and Mazzy also thought this was nice of Luna to mention them.
"Loyalty to the band, now that's what I like to see. That we can agree on" replied Mick Swagger.
"I also want my roadie Chunk to come along. This wouldn't be a full band without my main man roadie!" said Luna.
"Luna, you don't have to do this for me" said Chunk.
"Yes I do dude, you were there for me when I wanted to make my dream a reality. You were my roadie through and through, and this is the least I could do for you Chunk my man" replied Luna.
Chunk sheds a tear and wipes it off. "Wow Luna, that sure is nice of you. Thanks."
Even Lynn Sr sheds some tears.
Even Mick Swagger felt like crying a bit. "That is one thing I respect Luna, it ain't a band without the main roadies or some roadies. We can come up with a way for you and your band to tag along. There might not be any room within my tour bus, but maybe we can you lot another tour bus to follow."
"That might not be necessary Mick, I got me van with me and Luna has her car. Problem solved" replied Chunk.
"Nice, that one's done. Is there anything else you'd like to add luv?" asked Mick Swagger.
Luna sighs. "Secondly, I don't want any trouble while we're on this summer tour. The one thing I don't want is my band undergoing some sort of stress, including pressure."
"That I can understand. You got a plan on what happens should it happen? I can't guarantee I can keep pressure on hold" said Mick Swagger.
"Well, my bro and I along with Jordan and Sam made some plans if we do end up on our own tour. I think right now is the best time to finally let it all out" said Luna.
They all listen in. "If one of us is stressed from the tour and junk, then …. We're going home" said Luna.
They all remained silent. Rita then speaks out. "Well, I think that's a great idea."
"Same here, your just kids and I know pressure isn't gonna be your forte, should it happen then I can grant you guys a lift back home here in Royal Woods" replied Mick Swagger.
"Literally a good idea" said Lori.
"I don't get what's stressful about that" said Lynn Jr.
"Lynn, it's as stressful as a football player who can't beat a streak" said Lucy.
Lynn thinks about this. "Okay, good point."
"Seems like that one's done, and I could guess there's one more thing in your mind isn't there?" asked Mick Swagger.
Luna sighs. "Yeah, there is." She then looks to her parents. "Mom, dad-"
"Honey, you can go. This is a great summer vacation for you" replied Lynn Sr.
"And we support this every step of the way, and as you said with that plan of yours, come home should one of you lose your cool" said Rita.
"That's nice and all, but that's now what I was gonna ask about" Luna then looks to her parents and the Rosato parents. "Is it cool if …. Lincoln and Jordan tag along?"
They all remain silent.
"What?!" they all ask in shock.
"Did not see this one coming" said Mick Swagger.
Lynn Sr was about to faint, but Rita catches him. "Luna, I don't know about this."
"Come on mom and dad. The one thing I don't want is to go down this road without the little brother I swore to keep an eye on, I also made the same promise to Jordan. Back when we had some problems after some horrible enemies" replied Luna.
"I'm kinda lost here, what are we talking about?" asked Mick Swagger.
"That's one story too long to explain sir" replied Lisa.
"And too painful to think about sometimes" replied Leni.
Luna looks to her mom and Jordan's parents with pleading eyes. "Please? I know they can handle things, but what if something bad happens while I'm gone. We don't know when Patriot and Valkyrie are gonna be around since they've been cooped up in the tree house tower, and I can't live with myself if Lincoln and Jordan don't have someone to help keep them safe and happy."
She made some convincing truth to that. But she wasn't finished yet.
"Also, I made a promise that I would teach these dudes more on music, I would be their mentor for when they joined the Royal Woods Middle School Music Club and compete in the talent show" replied Luna. "And dang it, I am going to live up to that promise!"
They felt touched by this. "I'm not going, unless they go as well. My sweet baby bro and his daring lady of love."
Lincoln and Jordan felt like tears from her speech.
The Loud and Rosato parents look to each other. They all smile and look to Luna.
"I guess that's okay sweetie" said Rita.
Rick and Jesse go to Luna. "Luna, we want you to keep a close eye on them. You taking our little girl on this cross road tour across the country could be dangerous and we know there's more danger when some punk kid comes around. Please, please tell us you will keep an eye on them?" said Rick.
"I will. I promise" replied Luna. The Rosato parents hug her, in which she returns the hug.
"That's all we wanted to hear, plus we trust you Luna" replied Jesse.
"We also think it's a good idea" said Sam.
"Just as long as they're safe from any trouble at all" said Simon.
The other sisters also agree, though they felt sad that Lincoln and Jordan might not be at the house for who knows how long when summer begins, but this was a promise Luna made and they know Lincoln might get sad if she isn't around either. Lynn Jr was feeling something else in her heart from this, but decided to keep it to herself.
"But, this isn't just ours and your choice Luna, it's also Lincoln and Jordan choice" replied Lynn Sr.
Luna then takes a deep breath and turns around. "Bro, Jordan I wanna say-"
She gets hugged by Lincoln and Jordan who had tears in their eyes. "Yes! Yes! And Yes!"
Luna was shocked by this. She smiles and returns the hug.
Mick Swagger sheds some tears and then blows his nose from the tissue that Leni handed to him. "Thanks luv."
"No prob" replied Leni.
"Okay, I guess this can work. I'm glad we have this all arranged and I can have my body guards keep an eye on them for when something goes wrong, beside I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to Royal Woods eagle contest winders, though the eagles are the real winners" replied Mick Swagger.
Patriot takes a bow and he has to tell this to Valkyrie later.
They soon break the hug. "Thanks for this opportunity Mick, this means a lot. To me, my friends and my family."
"Family is all important Luna, never stray away or leave them behind. Especially to those you are closest too, and I respect this bond you and your little brother have. I know he'll be a great musician one day" said Mick Swagger.
"Thank you sir, coming from you is a true honor" replied Lincoln. "Also, I think we can settle with this guard thing. Luna, Jordan and I have some friends who could act as a secondary security team on the tour."
"Smashin' plan little Loud. Also, the whole tour will begin on June 13, and no need to worry of how long it'll take. It's just for one week" replied Mick Swagger.
"Rockin!" they all cheered. They then celebrate with the food Lynn Sr made.
(Skip, night time.)
Lincoln puts his restringed guitar away and smiles. 'This day was awesome! And I can't wait for Summer Vacation!'
Then Lincoln gets a text from Adrien, the owner of the Local Net Gaming Hub computer shop. "What's this?"
"Attention to those who have signed up for the Local Net trivia contest. Due to some technical difficulties, the whole contest will be moved onto May 15 instead, and chances the prize will change. Sorry again."
Lincoln sighs. But he was okay with it. 'I'm sure Jordan got the same message as well.'
Then he sees Luna come into the room after using the bathroom. "Hey bro, ready for bed? We got school tomorrow."
"I am" Lincoln gets up from his bed and hugs Luna, Luna smiles and hugs him back. "Thank you Luna, for letting Jordan and me be part of this, this great thing you're doing! You're the best sister ever!"
Luna smiles and hugs him tighter. "Thank you bro, this is the least I could do for helping me with my gig."
They both then break the hug and go to their bunks, but then Lincoln hugs Luna again and he kisses her cheek. "Goodnight Luna …. I love you, mom." He then goes back to his lower bunk.
Luna smiles and sheds a small tear. "Goodnight little bro, love you too Linc." she then goes to her top bunk and gets some sleep.
Unaware that some is listening to this and seeing it through the keyhole. The person sighs. 'Why can't Lincoln see us older sisters like that? Why can't he treat us with that kind of thing? And why the heck am I even thinking of this?!" Lynn says to her thoughts.
She then recalls the many times Lincoln has spent with all of his older sisters. Lori is caring, responsible and shows leadership, but she has some perks that matter mostly to her phone and her relationship.
Leni is sweet hearted, kind and is generous. But she can be ditzy, well used to be ditzy and air-headed.
Luan shows laughter and fun, but she can be annoying and she used to be a pranking master mind.
Lynn, all she could think of were the many times she tried to get him to be interested in sports, Lincoln has some liking to WWE and he is strong in his own way. And Lynn knows how pushy she can be, but she just wants to toughen him up.
But right now, the one person who has been showing him how to toughen up is Luna and of course Jordan. Lynn is fine with Jordan, she's a good girl for her brother, but she questions Luna. Lynn has failed to help toughen up her brother, but it took love, caring and showing emotions to toughen Lincoln from all the threats he faced, along with some dominant and tactical approaches from Jordan and dodge ball.
'I gotta find a way to have Lincoln see me like that, but how?' Lynn then walks back to her room. Wondering if she can have a bond with her brother. Just like how the twins share one, Lucy and Luan, Lori and Leni and sorta to Lisa and Lily.
This is a mission Lynn is going to try and finish, a mission to get Lincoln to bond with her. Just like Luna.
A/N: I am not making Lynn the bad guy here, she just needs to understand the situation here is just gonna make things worse and don't worry I will have Lincoln try and talk to her. But that will have to be after the requested chapter coming next. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
